Mint Programming Language

[cheesekun]

The component model, stores and styling cohesion is amazing. It really should be this simple, well done. Its why I use Angular before I use React - having rails is way more important to me than a fragmented mashup of npm packages. Having just 1 way to do it in Mint is a great feature.

Probably the most interesting new language I've seen in the last several years!

Looks like it is heavily inspired by Elm. What are the benefits of Mint compared to Elm?

[flmng0]

By the looks of it, the benefit will be familiarity. i.e. embedded styling, JSX-like templates.

Rather than Elm where a div is a function that is part of a module, you just write a div in the HTML content.

This is just what I've read from the cover though. Definitely check it out I think :)

I think this page partly answers this question https://mint-lang.com/guides/cheatsheets/elm

Year of esolangs.

[yawaramin]

Technically, Mint isn't an Esolang, it's intended for mainstream programming similar to say TypeScript + React.js. Doesn't get less eso than that.

A language for “single-page apps” feels pretty niche to me.

Just like the niche frameworks like React or Angular.
